Stances adds some degree of focalization to an otherwise mediocre 6/10 multipurpose job. For us to be able to melee we'd need NATIVE fencer traits since RDM's style is more Sword+Shield compared to BLU's Dual Wielding. So we'd need native Fencer traits, A- sword skill, ability to use stronger sword weapon skills like Vorpal Blade. On the mage side we definitely need a boost of some degree to curing power, strong and unique debuffs that other jobs dont get and strong enhancing spells that WHM's don;t get AoE version of(kick in the balls to RDM that WHM has Boost-Spells when we have higher enhancing magic then them, seriously Gain-AGI and Gain-CHR and Gain-VIT are utter wastes of spell slots that could have been used for unique and useful spells)
